DENVER – Mayor Michael B. Hancock today proclaimed a bigger and better “United in Orange, Time to Ride Friday” in the City and County of Denver for January 17 to support the Denver Broncos leading up to AFC Championship game presented by Bud Light and Verizon against the New England Patriots.
Broncos fans throughout the Denver metro area and state are encouraged to wear orange on Friday in advance of the team’s game on Sunday, January 19.
Fans are also invited to celebrate "United inOrange, Time to Ride Friday" along with Mayor Hancock, the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders, Miles the Mascot, Broncos alumni and Thunder at the City and County Building on Friday, Jan. 17 at 1 p.m. Fans in attendance will receive pom poms, buttons, stickers (while supplies last) and have the chance to enter to win tickets to the game.
Mayor Hancock will sign a “Good Luck Broncos” banner and rename Bannock Street to "Broncos Boulevard" for the remainder of the postseason. All Broncos fans are encouraged to join on Friday and write their own good luck messages to the team on the banner, which will then be placed at the stadium.
